RE:"What's there to like? I understand that Arnold's image is done with smoke and mirrors, and that his nice guy image is about as real as Disneyland" Again you don't know what you're talking about. It's getting long in the tooth.

Ted, What's there to like? I understand that Arnold's image is done with smoke and mirrors, and that his nice guy image is about as real as Disneyland. Ask Amy. Arnold is doing a great job reaching out to the normally intransigent Democrats in the Legislature. He's willing to work with them and compromise on a lot of things, up to a point. Of course, Arnold still retains the option to push any measure to the California public for a vote. And Arnold is very popular, especially in TV commercials, a medium in which he successfully sold two budget-reforming measures recently. Some legislators think he's using that ability to force them to go along with his plans ... and they're right. Either way, his politics is for real, not smoke-n-mirrors. And he is advancing politics in Sacramento at light speed. Well, "light speed" relative to the gridlock it seems Californians have become used to. Tenchusatsu
